TO ALL WHOM ITA MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS `M. EVERINGHAM, of Collingwood, in thecounty of Onondaga, and4 State of New York, haveinvented a new anduseful Improved .Clothes and PictureHanger; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a, full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings, making apart of this specification. I

Like letters represent like parts. I l

Letters A A represent the extension bars; letters B B B the hooks;letters C C C the upright bar; letters D D D the dove-tailed slot in theupright bar.` I construct-my improved clothes and picture-hanger in theform as represer'itedA by. the drawings. The extension bars are mede ofany desired length. The lower part of the upright bars has a slot inthem, in which the hooks are fastened, bent so as to allow the extensionbar, which is fastened to it, to play up, and down in the slot freely.In the upper end of the upright bars are eyes orl holes to allow theclothes or picture-hanger to 'be hung or fastened to the wall, or anyother place; and permanently fastened to each of the upright bars arehooks, upon which the clothes or pictures are to. be placed or hung.

The errtension bars are fastened together, as shown in the annexeddrawings, but fastened so Vas to permit the' extension'bars freely-toplay when the hangcr'is extended to its full length, or contracted. Theclothes and picture-hanger when not in lise can be closed up in so smalla compas-s that it can be `Very readily carried, sind then when used canbe extended to its full or any desired length, and hung up, making aportable and eonvenient article, always accessible and ready.,l f i WhatI claim-as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The extension bar A, the hook B, the upright bar O, and the dove-tailedslot D in the nprightfba-r, when the 'same are constructed, combined,and used in the manner ds substantially set forth and described.
